Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.

Avalanche Activity

Avoid snowdrifts and zones below glide cracks.

Avalanche danger above 1600 m is moderate, below that altitude danger is low. Main problem: wet snow. On very steep grass-covered slopes and rocks, wet glide-snow avalanches can release naturally. Large releases are sometimes possible.Due to solar radiation, small wet loose-snow avalanches can release in extremely steep terrain.
